I fell in love with this stamp
as soon as I saw it.
I bought this little chap
last year when Miss Di and I
were at the NEC
and he has been waiting patiently for his
first outing!
Decided to make a Gatefold card.
Stamp is by Circadesign 'ED-IM-03'
Coloured with my Promarkers.
Background given a light dusting
of green pearlescent chalk.
cut out using Spellbinders 'Marvelous Squares' die.
I cut the cardstock to my own measrurements.
Just spuddled (not sure that is a real word but it's
what The doc says I do all day)
around until I was happy with the sizes.
Design paper is by Nancy Watt
a freebie in making cards mag 2012.
I found the autumn sayings on the web.
Used my bitty leaf punch again but quickly stuck
the snippets onto the other card on the opposite page.
The front flap over has a tag in a pocket
to write a message on the reverse before sending
I thought both of these sayings summed up
Autumn.
A close up of the stamped image.
I love his pumpkin head.
I turned the bird into a Robin
and chose autumn colours.

This scarecrow image is so cute. Love all the detail in the stamp. Your coloring is perfect for fall and I like the fall sentiments too.
I do like a scarecrow Valery Anne, something about them that always appeals and in the lovely Autumnal colours looks really good.
